Won't Take My Soul (feat. Nas & CeeLo Green)

You can see the pain in my eyes

See the tracks in my tears

Feel it deep in my body

You don't know where I came from

I can't go back, no, I can't run

I won't do that for nobody

This world so cold, I can't ever work my code

You won't ever take my soul

You won't ever

And I'm all alone

I ain't got no one to hold

But you won't ever take my soul

You won't ever take my soul

You won't ever

Love is a myth, unless it's your mother, father and kids

You beg to dif'

Forgive 'em for their ignorance

They not rememberin'

I gotta give them their discipline

Remember when I used to suffer

Struggle through deadly pain?

I got it good now

I'm talkin' a mental plane

Silencin' all the noise

Pray for the day I bust a Nina on that bitch who shot Selena

Then I rejoice, uh

We some fathers to our boys

Birth a boy, you rich for life, see the joy

I live to see my kids doin' business

Tell 'em everything's business

Basically, everything's a business

So make it your business to get it

You can see the pain in my eyes

See the tracks in my tears

Feel it deep in my body

You don't know where I came from

I can't go back, no, I can't run

I won't do that for nobody

This world so cold, I can't ever work my code

You won't ever take my soul

You won't ever

And I'm all alone

I ain't got no one to hold

But you won't ever take my soul

You won't ever take my soul

You won't ever

I had no Damon Dash as my partner

The maniacs, I wish I had a Damon

I woulda been straighter with that shit

No Puffs, I had crack sellers to trust

No Suges, not even no havin' your shit when we change

How the patterns go

Free Bill Underwood

Morris Levy was free grabbin' dough

Status quo straight from the barrios

Khaled now how the Calico was blowin'

To all my dawgs CEOin'

P and Coach K and Top Dawg, see, we growin'

Brother, my Highbridge niggas a lotta weed smokin'

Later I had my dawg Steve missin'

Lightey and my man Shakir

Damn, I wish all my dawgs was here

You can see that we all some kings in our eyes

You can see the pain in my eyes

See the tracks in my tears

Feel it deep in my body

You don't know where I came from

I can't go back, no, I can't run

I won't do that for nobody

This world so cold, I can't ever work my code

You won't ever take my soul

You won't ever

And I'm all alone

I ain't got no one to hold

But you won't ever take my soul

You won't ever take my soul

You won't ever
